First off, thank you for all the comments. The fact that this hastily conceived and (IMO) over-processed image ranks as the 3rd highest rated (garnering the most 10's) and most commented on photo in my short tenure here tells me that I've either been thinking far too much about my photos, or I truly don't understand you all. ;) The only reason this got entered is because my original violated editing rules...



In response to the comments below...
- Yes, the sign to my left (photo right) really says that. It's actually a Mini Cooper advert
- This is a public bathroom at the Steel Stacks facility in Bethlehem, PA, and yes, there is a large mirror opposite the urinals, under which are a line of sinks not shown.
- No, I did not was my hands first, I took the picture first. Then I set about doing my business, washing my hands last.
- As for other people being in there, I do not believe there were at the time, but there were a couple false starts as I heard footsteps entering. I get a little gun shy when others are in there with me. And yes, the camera would have definitely freaked them out.
- Control has never been an issue. Besides I have a long strap.

Anyway, I'm glad I tickled a few fancies.


Yeah... I've been here for many years and can never figure out us voters. *sigh*

BTW, IF you really want to thank your commenters, you'll check the "This comment was helpful" box under each one. It lets the commenter know that you've seen it and... even though you might not agree with the comment, you appreciate the time it took for him to tell you something they think about your work. :D

Takes a good deal of control for this shot(or a wipe of the shoes)- great textures.

I hope there was nobody else in there! The camera would freak some people out.

Does that sign REALLY say what it says? That's hysterical.

Also, thank you for only showing us the backside and not the front, LOL!

My first inclination is to ask if you washed your hands first :D but now I am more intrigued by the fact that there's a big mirror behind the urinals. Interesting!
